Heworth / Monkgate Stray

[Sxx]

Hi, I'm planning a move to Heworth and was wondering if any mumsnetters lived in the area who could give me any info. I don't know York very well and was wondering what playgroups, toddler groups, play areas there are in the area. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old, would be great if you could give me your general feelings on the area, is it family friendly? I'm worried it's a little isolated and suburban. Any views would be very much appreciated! xxx
